I have fear of being a failure... not living up to what others expect of me. What kind of fears or phobias do you have?

When I was in Morocco they cooked them right on the side of the road... nice and hot and then you are supposed to drink the juice that they were boiled in (which was too salty for me). My wife is totally afraid of driving since being in an accident so I can understand that as well.

My biggest fear, in fact I think its my only fear really, is losing another child...I've already outlived one of my own kids as well as a neice and a nephew..I dont want to outlive anymore kids least of all one of my own....

That would be a hard one to handle. I still have both my parents and all my siblings so I can't empathize with what that must be like. I feel for you. And that for sure is a fear that is justified.

Little clastrophobic...but hate car washes..yes! I said carwashes. I got stuck in one a few years back and can't get myself to go through the automatic ones. I have to go where you can hose it off or have someone take my car through.

I don't have particular phobias but I used to have a great fear of heights. But I won over that fear lately :D. Now I am not afraid of many things, I just hate some things... For example I hate flying insects. Not really afraid of them, just afraid they will bite me or sting me or go in my eyes etc lol
